    That probably comes from this article: https://www.mckoolsmith.com/assets/htmldocuments/2024%2011%2... . Could be a copy/paste error, or could be an LLM trying to cite its own work…

    Nobody is buying these things to review them, it's just a guy that works in "AI Strategy" in Palantir that has a lot of money to spend on LLM tokens.

    This is a myth. Instant Pot was purchased by private equity parasites when it first became popular, and they quickly extracted all value and destroyed the company when they saw it …

    Thanks I guess I should have realized that, now it seems less insane.

    I know houses used to be cheaper but I was still struggling to understand how a 22-year-old from what doesn't sound like a very rich family could have afforded this. His foundation…

    This is kind of dumb but for any common interval length there is probably a YouTube video that's long enough for your workout. For example, 30 seconds and 1 minute: https://www.you…

    Reminds me of when she was on Never Mind the Buzzcocks, and they played a "finish the lyrics" game: https://youtu.be/vl7UfjtLzcQ?t=260

    I love this idea, but do these ships exist yet? I can only find renderings, and the company's "roadmap" page is not a roadmap ( https://vela-transport.com/feuille-de-route/ ). The …

    I've never read it but I think Atlas Shrugged might qualify. I don't think I've ever heard anyone praise the plot or talk about it as a novel, instead people who liked it say it ch…
